Konami Gaming

Konami Holdings has announced that its gaming and systems revenue has risen some 39.5 percent yearly, totaling $115.67 million during the groupโ€™s second financial semester, ending September 30th. Business profit for the six-month period amounted to $13.52 million, a 9.5 percent increase yearly.

The gaming and systems revenue also includes the groupโ€™s casino equipment, including supply of floor management systems and slot machines.

Regarding foreign markets, the group noted in a filing that โ€˜operation in casino facilities in North America and Australia returned to its pre-COVID-19 level and the situation brought back in the revitalized markets, noting that despite some markets still being affected by the pandemic โ€˜the market as a whole is on the road to recoveryโ€™.

This is contrasted, however, by global supply chain โ€˜disruptionsโ€™, leading to โ€˜rising parts cost and delivery delays of parts and materialsโ€™.

The group does note that for the period โ€˜revenues have reached a record high due to successive launch of new titles of core contents and the depreciation of the Japanese Yenโ€™.

Total revenue during the six-month period amounted to $934.83 million, up 6.4 percent yearly, while profit amounted to $134.10 million, an annual decrease of 28 percent.

The group notes that due to the pandemic, it is increasingly focusing all of its segments on more online-based platforms and products โ€˜on any deviceโ€™, as well as offering fan events and eSports competitions. The group is projecting total revenue for the fiscal year, ending March 31st, as $2.16 billion, with $371.61 million in profit
